Dear GESTALT Member,
Following the exciting previous seminars, we are almost a week away from Dr. Dr. Pengzhi Zhang - Weill Cornell Medicine).
August 29, 10:00AM Eastern Time, Dr. Pengzhi Zhang - Hosted by Drs. Jiwoon Park and Ahmet Coskun
Dr. Zhang will be discussing:
Thor: A Computational Platform for Cell-level Investigation of Spatial Transcriptomics and Histology
Dr. Pengzhi Zhang is a Research Associate in Dr. Guangyu Wang’s lab at the Houston Methodist Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine. His research focuses on developing computational tools that bridge high-resolution imaging with next-generation sequencing to enable cell-level biological insights. He earned his Ph.D. in Computational Biophysics under the supervision of Prof. Margaret S. Cheung at the University of Houston, and his B.S. in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China. Dr. Zhang develops machine learning frameworks to study molecular and imaging data, creating versatile platforms for holistic tissue analysis. His first-author work has been published in Nature Methods, Nature Biotechnology, and Nature Communications.
Dr. Zhang will introduce Thor, a computational platform that unites these two dimensions at the single-cell level. Thor integrates spot-level gene expression with tissue morphology by inferring single-cell level molecular maps.
